- Todor P0 contributionsReally bad not recomendet“The walking tour of Zagreb was somewhat disappointing. While the city has beautiful architecture and rich history, the tour felt disorganized and rushed. Our guide seemed unprepared and didn’t provide much insightful information about the sites. There were also too many people in the group, making it hard to hear or engage. I expected more from the experience, especially given the city’s charm. Overall, it was a letdown and not worth the time—definitely a 2-star experience.”Written 15 October 2024

LOVED this journey! Bo was sure to connect us all right off the bat, so the group felt cohesive and comfortable.
We learned so much! Bo had plenty to share, but he also ensures that we feel comfortable taking time to nap in the car and not feel pressured to listen. He also was great at getting us sharing about our own countries. Really, so good and so much more than just the incredible scenery and history lesson.
I enjoyed this tour so much.

The trip was incredible! The stop in Rastoke was lovely and included the chance to buy a coffee to drink on top of a waterfall. You will spend the tour of Plitvice Lakes surrounded by the most beautiful scenery you have ever seen throughout the ~9km walk. My group's tour guide, Marko, provided excellent guidance and commentary about the nature, cuisine, culture, and history of Plitvice Lakes, Rastoke, Zagreb, and the various regions of Croatia as a whole. He answered questions in detail, and when the Pathfinder company texted restaurant recommendations in Zagreb to the group near the end of the tour, he even recommended dishes to group members based on their interests and what kinds of foods they wanted to try. If I had visited the park on my own instead of with this tour, I would not have had the additional nature and cultural context that made the trip even more incredible. The bus was also comfortable. Each aspect of the tour was excellent, and I will recommend this tour to anyone I know who travels to Croatia.

Me and my girlfriend Isabel only decided to visit the Plitvice lakes after many people recommending a visit if you are staying in Zagreb. We were initially apprehensive about the price, but had a great experience overall, especially thanks to our guide Sascha. We feel the price is fair, also considering that the entrance ticket of 40€ is already included.
We were a well sized group of 17 people and started the trip from a central location in Zagreb, where we got picked up in a spacious, comfortable and well airconditioned shuttle bus,which provided an extremely positive and comfortable experience over the total round trip time of 4 hours!
The other element that made the trip such a good experience was our guide Sascha, who was friendly energetic, fun and kind. He was really easy to talk to and shared many interesting things about Croatia and the Plitvice lakes themself. Even though the Plitvice lakes were crowded with other visitors, he knew how to avoid the bulk of them and still managed to take us to great photo opportunity spots, where he even individually helped everyone in the group to take pictures where possible. He made sure the group stayed together by constantly checking if everyone in the group was present during the entire trail while ensuring that we saw all the beautiful lakes and waterfalls, while not rushing. Thank you Sascha for making the trip such a great experience!

The Tour Operator cancelled our tour the day before we were set to undertake it
We had booked this tour approximately 6 months prior.
When we went back in to attempt to rebook the price we found was way more than we had initially paid and did wonder if this, was the reason the tour was cancelled, to allow them to charge someone else more to take our place?
We eventually decided to just do a self guide tour of Plitvice Lake, and it was great
We probably saved more by doing this as we still had to pay the park entrance fee, which is quite expensive on top of the initial payment we had made for the tour
We had a rental vehicle for this part of our trip, so the option of just doing our own walk around was the best choice

Dear Elvin,
we really wish that you have booked a tour with us, but unfortunately, for you and us, it was with somebody else.
We are sure that you left the right review, the only problem is that you have wrote it on the wrong address.
Firstly, by looking at photos you have posted you have visited NP Krka and not Plitvice lakes. Pathfinder tours (company you have reviewed) has never organized day trips to the park you have visited.
Secondly, we do not cancel our tours/departures.
We wish you pleasant stay in Croatia and if you are visiting Zagreb do not hesitate to book a tour with us.
Best regards, pathfinder tours team

The tour should have been to both Plitvice Lake National Park and the village of Rastoke. We drove through Rastoke and did not stop per the booking that we arranged. When we contacted the tour operator they said they notified us of the change. Of course they did notify us late in the day by email which 3:22pm while we were out touring and did not see the message. Also, it would have been too late to cancel as it was within 24 hours. We also would not have been able to book another tour with such late notice. The company did not give a satisfactory response. In addition due to traffic the tour operator skipped the rest stop. One of the members of the bus had to use the bathroom so badly that they made an emergency stop but only to let the one person use the bathroom.
I highly recommend Plitvice Lake but not with this tour company that has very little regard for their customers.

Looking at our passenger lists we have noticed that you have never attended our tour. We are Pathfinder tours, one of the providers on Viator and Tripadvisor. We are sorry that you had a bad experience but also sad that you have reviewed the wrong company/provider.
Pathfinder tours always provides full itinerary, no exception.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Zagreb and all the best.

This tour should definitely be one of the things that you do when you are in Zagreb or its surrounding areas. Plitvice is a place of great natural beauty that is very well-deserving of its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is well maintained by the Croatians who crowd-control the entry as well. The small group tour by Pathfinders is the perfect way to see the lakes. Sasa, our guide, speaks excellent English, is knowledgeable and enthusiastic while being firm enough to get the group to move along such that we get the best out of the tour. Highly recommend this tour.

This day trip was great. We were picked up by our driver/guide together with a second family and then spent the day visiting Rastoke first and then the Plitvice Lakes. The scenery was awesome and our guide (Sasa) took us on a hike around the lake's for fantastic photographs and a great day out. Highly recommended!

The natural wonder of Plitvice Lakes National Park is incomparable. But the experience is enhanced by Pathfinder Tours expert coordination. Transport was smooth and easy. Logistics were seamless. Details within the park were managed to best advantage, even in the sometimes crowded setting. Our guide, Lucia, was superb and added exceptional value. Her educational and entertaining overview of Croatian history, culture, peoples, customs and traditions while traveling was outstanding. Passing through areas affected by the Homeland War and the accompanying description provided first-person insight. Rastoke Village was a charming addition. Lucia has an exceptional manner, she anticipates (directing our group to alternative paths to save time and avoid congestion), looks out for special needs, points our unique Park features and demonstrates a real commitment to her group’s enjoyment of the experience and safety.

Katya, our guide, was attentive to all passengers on the trip and provided a very informative, entertaining commentary on Croatia. Her English was very good and she managed to make clear the way in which the group need to stay together and on time. She volunteered to take photos of group members, which was appreciated. A very professional guide.
The tour gave us a full day to see plenty of the Plitvice Lakes , included substantial lakeside walks.

I'd really like to do this but not sure about the lobg walking. Is there an option go take part without a 5 mile walk?
Written 6 May 2023
You don’t have to walk far to see the large waterfall. Actually right after you enter the park, there’s a spot to sit, watch the large waterfall and take great photos.
